加利福尼亞州聖何塞2019年5月23日(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -矽穀移動公司NEXT Future Transportation Inc.今天在城市未來全球會議(UFGC)上宣布，它與電動移動先驅Jan-Olaf Willums博士合作成立了THINK NEXT。總部位於挪威奧斯陸的挪威控股公司將使NEXT未來運輸公司能夠實施其業務發展計劃，並支持其在整個無邊界北歐地區的增長。幾十年來，北歐國家一直處於電動交通的前沿，他們采用電動交通創新的速度比世界上任何其他地方都要快。雄心勃勃的減排目標，不斷增長的政府和行業支持，以及快速的技術進步，使挪威成為THINK NEXT的理想地點。在歐洲，交通運輸排放的溫室氣體占所有溫室氣體排放的四分之一。自1990年以來，歐洲的工業排放量下降了38%，但交通運輸部門的排放量卻增加了9%。國際能源署(IEA)預測，從2000年到2050年，交通運輸產生的溫室氣體排放量將增加120%。“我們認為挪威是實現電動交通以解決全球所有城市麵臨的氣候和城市擁堵問題的榜樣。運輸部門的目標隻能通過其他形式的移動來實現，我們期待成為解決方案的一部分，”NEXT首席執行官Emmanuele Spera說。挪威連續創業者Jan-Olaf Willums博士創立了Computas ES，這是斯堪的納維亞的第一家人工智能公司，後來也是世界上第一家電動汽車共享公司Move About。 He pioneered through ZEM (Zero Emission Marine) battery solutions for the shipping sector. As founding director of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) he was an early champion for public-private partnerships to fight global warming. Willums is recognized for serving as CEO of Th!nk Global, the pioneering electric car company that launched Europe’s first highway-approved EV aimed to upend a century-old automotive paradigm by changing the way cars are made, sold, owned and driven. He was chairman of Electro Mobility Norway and co-founder of the Industry cluster SAMS (Sustainable Autonomous Mobility Systems). “I am honored to have the opportunity to partner with one of the true pioneers of electric mobility. Jan-Olaf was way ahead of his time when he in 2007 promoted a vision of the electric car as an internet-enabled transportation solution that interacts with the public and the power grid through a mobile phone,” said Tommaso Gecchelin, CTO, Co-Founder and Inventor of NEXT. An Italian quantum physicist, he adopted swarming concepts known from biology and physics to solve the immense complexity of distributed transportation networks. An artificial intelligence engine directs the interactions of modular “pods” through a set of algorithms that together optimize transport across a complex network. THINK NEXT intends to manufacture its first fleets of commercial modular Pods in Scandinavia, and work with the autonomous technology pioneers in the region. About NEXT Future Transportation: NEXT Future Transportation, Inc. is a mass transportation and goods movement startup that is developing a patented modular, autonomous, electric vehicle fleet and the supporting operating system required to bring the systems and services to market at scale. The company is headquartered in San Jose, California.
